A student must be familiar with programme and technological process of food processing, and what changes occur in the manufacturing process of food ingredients, and functional properties of processed food.

Student after completing the course "General food technology" acquired knowledge of the basic processes and unit operations used in food processing. Student gain practical, analytical skills in determining the content of selected food ingredients and measuring the physical and chemical characteristics of the food samples during unit operations and processes. The final effect of the course "General food technology" is the ability to properly select and apply the practical operation of the unit or process for processing raw materials, semi-product or final food product, and also its preservation, so that provide us safe final product for the consumer. Student after completing the course "General food technology" should properly choose the type, duration of the process, the type of production equipment to perform a specific processing action (machine type, the form of the resulting semi-product/final product, etc.)

The theory will be given by means of lectures. A syllabus and slides are available as study material. For the practical exercises the students will perform experiments and analyses in the lab. Extra demonstrations will be given.
